"There are rules that must be followed, Maggie." "Even in witchcraft?" "Especially in witchcraft. What someone puts into the world comes back to them." "You mean karma?" "Like karma, yes. But for a witch it comes back threefold. Never forget that." "That doesn't seem fair." "Who said life was fair?" In the second installment of The Daughters of Dark Root series, Maggie Maddock and her sisters are back, training under their coven-leading mother Miss Sasha Shantay to take over as the new leaders of The Council. But life isn't as smooth as Maggie had hoped it would be. Harvest Home's taxes have come due, and her mother's illness has returned, stronger than ever. Desperate, Maggie and Eve devise a scheme to make money through witchcraft. And that's when things go terribly wrong.
